The ferals losing the first three. Up against Brisbane next game. Surely they can’t make it four 🤞

One can only hope that the ‘winning by a few points’ catches up with Carlton during this season 🤞 Edit-(Sorry Monocular- just saw your post above)

And they did it again! Now that is good news

What a great start to the weekend

You are most likely correct….but can I then just pretend that the booing was for Gus? It made me feel good on the day.

I mentioned this on another thread but I think it is more appropriate here. I liked how the GWS crowd booed that dog every time he got near the ball. I hope that trend continues for the rest of the year. (As an aside I really deplored how fans from all teams booed Goodes- it was not on. Similar for that young bloke who moved from North to Port [North supporters excepted]. Perhaps I’m a bit one eyed and biased- but I believe the Maynard situation is different. The difference being he deserves it, simple as that)

We are still in the top 8!

Likewise. However I was pleased with the GWS crowd ‘response’ to him in their game against the ferals. Sincerely hope all other teams supporter bases do likewise.

I’m looking forward to seeing how all the pundits squirm the next day…after we take care of one of the premiership favourites on their home turf

I love how we don’t feature highly with most pundits out there in media land. I can feel another 2021 coming on. GO DEES!

Viney might also take a few votes of him

I believe Billings only played a handful of games for the Saints in the last two seasons due to a combination of injuries and form loss prior to coming over to us. I know its early days but it appears that he has found a new lease on life. Boy does he have some silky skills. I am very bullish about how good this could turn out for him and us. I hope he plays in the ones against Sydney. No question from me, just a comment.

As a bit of a contra to the doomsday sentiments from some after our Richmond practice game, I reckon (with a bit of luck with injuries) that once again I see no reason why we can’t go deep and be serious contenders. Four years running!🤞 Never in my life have I had so much fun barracking for Melbourne and felt so optimistic about our chances as I have had in the last few years. GO DEES!

Gus, you made the right call. Doesn’t make it any easier though. Thanks for the flag mate. Team. Do it for Gus in 24. Simple as that.

I reckon there are a couple of positives being classified as the ‘living dead’. I find that cars generally now slow down when I try and cross the road. Took a while to get used to this. In my younger days I swear they would speed up. As an aside, I live walking distance from Casey…..so fingers crossed I don’t get ‘taken out’ tomorrow morning 🤞Go Dees

As much as I loved to despise Toby Greene over the years for all his infamous antics. I have done the big turnaround. Last season I thought that he did an excellent job as a leader of GWS. Not to mention he is an outstanding player. Geez, I wished they beat Collingwood in the finals. Sooo close

I think we can win the big one this year but I’m a realist. There is always an element of luck (particularly with injuries). Bring it on. Can’t wait. As an aside, last season I was really torn about who I would barrack for if it ended up a Collingwood v Carlton GF. (I detest both teams). Problem now solved. After experiencing both sides supporters in two finals…..if it ain’t us in 2022, anyone except Collingwood. Their supporter base on average are pure scum.

As a four year old to immigrant parents in 1964 my mother gave me a Hawthorn jumper and a Melbourne jumper to my older brother. Logic being neither jumper had white in it, easy to keep clean. The Dees won the flag and I deserted Hawthorn like the plague and made the switch to the mighty Dees. 12 Hawthorn premierships later I luckily (and legally) managed to be in Perth in 2021 to see the mighty Dees snag the big one. It was worth the wait. Go Dees!!

Grey?

Please, nooooo!

Can I add that little twerp that wears his old man’s footy shorts when he gets a game for the Filth (Ginnivan) to the list?

I keep saying, ABC- anyone but Collingwood Go Brisbane!

Please no. I detest him on so many levels (just my opinion, I’m sure there are plenty others that would think differently).

When you see two of the sides in the bottom half of the eight make it through to the prelim finals it shows just how even the competition really is. Wasn’t much between all the sides in the eight (perhaps the Saints excepted). We lost both our finals due to poor kicking, rather than we were beaten. Had we beaten the Pies we would have been serious contenders. We lost. Had we then beaten Carlton it was still going to be a tough ask to go all the way. That is how close the competition is. My question is this. Taking into account that the list will be reviewed and refined as well as tweaks made to our game plan, unforeseen injuries aside, tell me why I shouldn’t consider us being not just a contender but a serious contender next year. I reckon we will be. I think people sometimes forget, premierships are extremely hard to come by.

The going gets tough and the tough get going? I gather by the amount you pay for membership fees that you had reserved seats and finals and grand final guarantee? If that is the case that will free up that seat and I sincerely hope that whoever buys it actually goes to the home and away games during the season (not saying you didn’t go, I have no idea).
